ADMINISTRATION

Typically administered as an in-tank bath, mixed into the aquarium or pond water at specific concentrations

• Preparation: Perform a 20-25% water change and remove carbon filtration before adding the treatment.
• Dosage: Follow the product label, but a common rate is about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) per 10 gallons of water, creating a ~0.05 ppm malachite green concentration.
• Application: Mix the measured dose in a bucket of tank water, then pour it evenly into the aquarium or pond.
• Aeration: Ensure good aeration with an airstone, as the treatment can reduce oxygen.
• Duration: Treatments often last several days, with partial water changes (20-25%) before re-dosing.
• Post-Treatment: After the course, perform another significant water change and add dechlorinator/water conditioner. 

Note: Malachite green is toxic to shrimp, snails, and other invertebrates, so remove them before treatment.
